Program Overview

Recovery Community Model

At Lakeview Recovery Community, we know that addiction is a complex disorder that affects the whole person. 
 

We take a holistic approach to recovery, adhering to the evidence-based Therapeutic Community model, where residents focus on mental and physical wellbeing, lifestyle change and development within a safe, supportive community of their peers.

Key Aspects

Recovery Community Model

Community as Method

Community has an essential role to play in mental health and wellbeing. At Lakeview, residents learn to support each other, hold each other accountable, and build and maintain healthy relationships.

Primary Treatment

We take a whole person approach which ensures we support individuals with behavioural, emotional, physical, social and spiritual components. Integrating meaningful work into the recovery process helps residents develop a sense of purpose, build vocational skills, and practice responsibility and teamwork.
